‘It’s humiliating’: activist says Indigenous voices are being ignored on climate crisis

A Kulkalgal activist from the Torres Strait Islands has said the way the world often treats Indigenous people is an insult and he is attending the Cop27 conference in Egypt 'fighting for our home'.  Yessie Mosby, who in September was part of a group of claimants who made history in a landmark legal case that found the Australian government should compensate Torres Strait Islanders over climate crisis failures, said: 'Whether it's us in the saltwater, people of the Pacific Islands, or the people of the plains and the mountains, the swamps, who are facing climate change, we really want our voices to be heard. And we really need action.'

I'm Stepping over corpses daily on my way to work because of climate change here in the UK 🇬🇧 and the whole experience has just been truly heartbreaking and horrifying 😪💔

it's the people who are impacted the most and with the most knowledge that are also ignored the most

Indigenous and ignored. OK. But what's he against exactly?  What's his issue? All I heard was a load of empty words. He came across as a stooge to push a non-specific and non-defined message. He wants his voices to be heard? OK the Guardian are there for you... now say something

"We really need action" was my major take-away from what the guest was saying....

I wish more people cared about earth as much as they cared about who created it

We can be sure of one thing, "who" ever created the planet did not care about consent and the fact that the living would be forced to eat each other here!
